Glauconite

an amorphous green opaque mineral, like earthy chlorite, with a dull or glistening luster. There are two varieties of it; the one the green earth cavities in eruptive rocks, the other the green grains in greens and formation, or anything similar. GLAUCOPICRINE (-pi'krin), an alkaloid occurring in the root of Glaucium flavum. The root is exhausted with acetic acid, then precipitated with ammonia, redissolved in acetic acid, then precipitated with a solution of oak bark, and decomposing the precipitate with chalk, is crystallized out of ether.

GLAUCOPINE (-pi'nē), wattle-crows, a sub-family of Corvidx. The bill is short; the culmen elevated and curved from the base; the upper mandible entire; the wings short, rounded; the tail lengthened, graduated, or cuneated.
